A CONCERT pianist will be visiting a Potters Bar nursery to show youngsters the joys of classical music.

Hayley Elton will join toddlers, parents and teachers at Norfolk Lodge Montessori Nursery, in Dancers Hill Road, on Tuesday February 15.

The international musician will perform a mini-recital and show the audience how to play a simple tune in five minutes.

The visit forms part of a nursery tour by the musician to promote her Sleep Baby Sleep CD, which the artist claims aids sleep in young babies and toddlers.

Hayley Elton said: “I’m delighted to be embarking on this tour of nurseries. It's been a dream of mine to introduce very young people to music as early as possible in their lives.

“These events will also be a real eye-opener for parents who will see the tremendous benefits of introducing their children to music making at such an early age.”

The event will also include a performance by Hayley's son, seven-year-old Curtis Elton, who is studying for his Grade 8 piano.
